Decent pay for the work I performed. Flight benefits and pension were great in years past. Fairly strong camaraderie between fellow employees. That was then...

Cons

When I worked for Delta, management seemed to be stuck in a severe time warp. It was the '80s,'90s and '00s, but their HR policies reflected the 1950s. Conservative to a fault. Claimed a "family atmosphere", but used any excuse and method to mentally hammer employees into "submission". Unwise for any employee to utter a peep of discontent. Some family! Hypocrisy at its finest. Lazy workers never dealt with, leaving others to pick up their slack. Bad for morale. Maybe that's changed in the years since I left, but talking to friends still employed there...they say it's a living hell. The company is raking in the dough, but money can only buy so much happiness. Their first and utmost concern is their shareholders. While the flight benefits truly are (were) outstanding...as I've read in a few posts, and experienced personally, good luck finding an open seat these days. Delta (and many other airlines) finally got smart and learned that full aircraft make more money. Only took about forty years for them to figure that out. Final thought...don't fall for the sugar coated hype they spew. If you do decide to work for them...you've been forewarned.

Travel and that's it, they really like hiring just minorities for certain positions. Low pay, good training though.

Cons

Racist? Reverse discrimination? If you apply for customer service and you are a white male, don't bother. Delta hires white people but not for customer service,Recent training class has one white female.. Zero white males. Not exactly a representation of the population.

Advice to ManagementAdvice

Open your eyes, hire the best people, not people you think look the role

Flight benefits for yourself, spouse and family are almost unlimited. Buddy passes for free travel are available for friends. Free employee parking to use anytime; very nice when traveling.Delta is big on promoting from within.

Cons

Free flights are getting harder to get utilize due to less flights, passenger upgrades, and number of eligible employees and friends flying.Management Promotions have very inadequate training.Nepotism is rampant. Jobs are posted, yet candidates are already picked.

Advice to ManagementAdvice

Mentoring and people skills need to be instilled and improved. Promotions need to be based more on employee evaluations and not via relationships and seniority. Lots of room for improvements in Equipment maintenance, employee training and evaluations.

Travel benefits for current employees and family. Flexible Hours for some positions.

Cons

Very hostile environment for those wishing a good job with a Union. The medical benefits are terrible. Any pros are outweighed by the cons. Find an airline with a Union and voice. They are the ones you can expect to get livable wages, safe working conditions, and benefits. Here you have to beg to get anything.

Hired for a customer "experience" job. Midway thru training discovered that it was a ticketing -sales position. Also the flight perks could work IF you had space in planes,especially on return flights...and with starting one week vacation...and changing shifts.. why even bother. Pay your full ticket. Also wages for entry position horribly low ...no wonder you're making a billion in profits for your share-holders.

Advice to ManagementAdvice

Be honest and advertise this position like it should. Delta Airlines Ticketing Sales. ...deceitful practice. You are counting on desperate people to just "stay" for future promos? C'mon.
